Well hello there. November has arrived and the weather has slightly improved. It was about 70 yesterday and I don't remember feeling bitchy about the humidity or anything so score! Hopefully this will keep up and it will just get cooler and maybe rainy; you know, proper autumn.
October went out as it was meant to, with Halloween and all sorts of fun. We had a potluck at work and for once in my life I actually contributed something. Ladies and gentleman, I give you flesh worms:
Pretty gross, yes? The Bat went online to find a recipe because I wanted to bring something that was not a dessert. I was grossed out whilst making them and couldn't even eat it because it was so creepy. The worms are made out of pork loin wrapped in bacon. The teeth are raw spaghetti and the eyes are cloves with the ends burned.The guts are chili. I did not win the award for best dish because this dude made a meatloaf mummy but everyone agreed that mine was the grossest so I was satisfied.
Monkey had a football game and is almost at the totally over it phase when it comes to Halloween so she didn't dress up (though she did get zombified by her dear old dad the day before because the JV game featured a Drill Team number set to Thriller). The Bat wore some creepy contacts* but that was it. Me? I did shit right.
Today is Sunday so it's going to either be a super lazy day or else a very busy housekeeping sort of day. Seeing as I just finished some brunch, I'm going for lazy (I know the picture isn't very good but I was hungry).
*I texted a picture of me and the Bat from the evening to my mother. She asked me if he had yellow eyes. "No. He has brown eyes but he was wearing creepy contacts." What the fuck?
**Patronize? Seriously? Sorry, I was having trouble with my sentence structure and just gave up and figured I'd go with sounding pretentious.

I bought a zipper face kit from one of those pop up Halloween stores and the Bat put it on me before bruising up my other eye (obscured by my hair). I looked awesome and had so much fun going to the bar with the Bat and Paul Bunyon, his 6'7 cousin. Paul didn't get dressed up at all, loser. Sucks that Halloween is a holiday that happens in one day. People spread Christmas out forfuckingever but Halloween is all over in a single night. No one at the bar was dressed up either. Granted, we went to a local sushi bar so it wasn't all that surprising. This is the same place that the Bat and I usually patronize on Wednesdays for Happy Hour** and I now know why HH matters; I dropped just shy of $100 by being all beneficent and generous with my "I'll cover it." One entree, a couple of beers, and a few carafes of sake. Oy.
It was a fun night, so I guess the money doesn't really matter. Afterwards we returned to the Bat Cave where the Bat and Paul decided to wrestle a whole bunch. I took some video and my favorite parts are when I yell at them to be careful because Johan was on the floor and when they were both sitting on the floor, cross-legged and panting, and I kept saying "no. No more. Be good." Unfortunately, I cannot post said video because you know, I respect other peoples' privacy.

I have a cousin who has amber/yellow eyes. It's a genetic mutation, like Liz Taylor's violet eyes.
ReplyDeleteReally? Is it neat looking? The weird thing about my mom's question is that the Bat had bluish contacts in with creepy lining all around.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the little egg muffin things? Looks good!
ReplyDeleteToasted egg and bacon cups. They were OK but I think I'll scramble the egg a bit next time rather than just breaking the egg into the middle of the cup like the recipe called for.
